## Prediction

Within 30 days, as the southern Lebanon security-zone conflict grinds on and remains tied to Hormuz bargaining, Iran is likely to activate more Syrian-based assets—militias, missile depots, and UAV sites—to pressure Israel from multiple directions. Israel will counter with airstrikes deep into Syria, potentially near areas with Russian presence, raising deconfliction risks. This multi-front posture could overwhelm local civilian coping capacity and pull more regional actors into informal involvement. Confirmation would be increased Israeli strikes on Syrian territory linked to Hezbollah/Iran supply lines; denial would be Iranian restraint and a Lebanon-centered conflict profile despite Hormuz standoff.

## Drivers

- Sustained trends of entrenched Israel–Hezbollah conflict over a security zone
- Iran’s need for leverage as long as Hormuz remains closed and nuclear talks stall
- Past patterns of Iran using Syrian territory as depth for confrontation with Israel
